he doesn't share the commitment with us on that. so, okay, we're going to keep at it on that, but at the same time, you've got so many millions of americans who feel that they have become an afterthought. my purpose in saying this is we have conservative principles that actually can work for their life again, and that's what we're going to be about promoting. >> before you go, i want to ask you about the debate over drones. as a key part of the president's national security policy, why hasn't congress passed any additional legislation to review drone policy, to really understand where there ought to be checks and balances? in the time that's passed since the original authorization, post 9/11, that gave the president the authority to have a kill list that the president works off of for drones? >> i'm glad to hear that the administration has released the memo that is under discussion to our intelligence committees in both the house and the senate. we're going to be about oversight and getting into examining that memo. but you know, le
